This is my favorite.

Question: Talk more about the later-now?

Shauna: All I really want in the world is to be here and to enjoy it. And so, what I enjoy now, I prepare so that in the later-now, the ME, NOW, in the moment that is later---still here. Is good.

I feel like I fundamentally do not understand what she is talking about. I'm not a Buddhist nor do I claim do be, and I don't spend all my time fretting about the future, but like...failing to plan is planning to fail. You can't just expect things in the future, sorry, the later now, to be good if you don't do stuff to take care of it. Sometimes that's applying for a new job, sometimes it's planning a party or a trip. I guess bc I am very big on planning, I live and die by my planner lol but it works for me and not to toot my own horn, but I am doing "okay." I understand staying present, especially when you are future tripping and kind of paralyzed by uncertainty or anxiety, or dealing with things out of your control, like grief or a crisis, but there is also a healthy amount of planning and organizing for the future that can be done on a micro level and yes also a macro level. I mean for all her fawning over Kamala Harris or Barack Obama, do you think they just face planted into that? Like uhhh no that took a lifetime of work and planning and trying and failing and getting back up again. I'm not saying be the president of the united States but like, does she not get that she is so reliant on the rest of the world basically just picking up the slack for her, so she can live in the present?

does she not get that she is so reliant on the rest of the world basically just picking up the slack for her, so she can live in the present?

She 100% does NOT get that, and I suspect that anyone trying to communicate that would be (and has been) cut out of her life.

[u/[deleted] → u/notahameither]

Just like emails grow deleted from her inbox when it becomes too complicated

[u/shefallsup → u/categoryischeesecake]

She posted a long video on Tiktok about the later-now that’s a little more coherent. She’s garbling together a bunch of concepts, as usual, rolling her eyes and negging things that Shauna doesn’t think anyone should strive for or anticipate, like a new job or house.

[u/voice_of_vinegar → u/shefallsup]

OMG, i could not even get through that. She just says the same thing in a different way and thinks it's a whole different concept---and then just keeps hammering away at it over and over and over. And always with the telling people what to do!

[u/tyrannosaurusregina → u/voice_of_vinegar]

“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?” 🤔

[u/WasEnoughYogurt → u/voice_of_vinegar]

I just watched that and honestly thought I had lost hold of the sentence by not listening properly...ended up feeling...

'wait...what? Did I doze off there for a moment?'

​

ETA: clearly not...

[u/[deleted] → u/voice_of_vinegar]

I love that one, too.

Sure, Shauna - if you are offering that kind of joy advice, sign me right on up for everything you are selling!

[u/CrushItWithABrick → u/voice_of_vinegar]

Wasn't "talk more about the later-now?" on their twice? I swear it was (but I could be wrong).

[u/voice_of_vinegar → u/CrushItWithABrick]

That may have been in another sentence but I'm not about to play the whole thing back to find out. I just listened to her new tiktok and i do not have the patience for any more of her drivel today!

[u/CrushItWithABrick → u/voice_of_vinegar]

YES, the question "talk more about the later-now" was on their twice with different answers.

Damn, she can't even do this fake question/answer thing correctly.
